|
|
|
|
Acts 20:19
|
|
serving
the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and
with tears, and with trials which befell
me by the plots of the Jews; |
|
|
|
|
|
Acts 20:20
|
|
how I shrank
not from declaring unto you anything that
was profitable, and teaching you publicly,
and from house to house, |
|
|
|
|
|

|
testifying
both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward

behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem,
not knowing the things that shall befall

|
|
|
|

|
|
save that
the Holy Spirit testifieth unto me in every
city, saying that bonds and afflictions
abide me. |
|
|
|
|
|
Acts 20:24

|
But I hold
not my life of any account as dear unto

Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the
grace of God. |
|
|
|
|
|

I testify unto you this day, that I am pure
from the blood of all men. |

not from declaring unto you the whole counsel

after my departing grievous wolves shall
enter in among you, not sparing the flock;
|
|
|

|
and from
among your own selves shall men arise, speaking
perverse things, to draw away the disciples
after them. |
|
|
|
|
|

Wherefore
watch ye, remembering that by the space
of three years I ceased not to admonish
every one night and day with tears. |

no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. |
|
|

Ye yourselves
know that these hands ministered unto my
necessities, and to them that were with
me. |
|
|
|
|
|
Acts 20:35
|
|
In all things
I gave you an example, that so laboring
ye ought to help the weak, and to remember
the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself
said, It is more blessed to give than to
receive. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
And when
he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and
prayed with them all. |

And they
all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck and
kissed him, |
|
|
|
|
|
Acts 20:38
|
|
sorrowing
most of all for the word which he had spoken,
that they should behold his face no more.
And they brought him on his way unto the
ship. |
